Unique ID: D000017
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000017
Annotation: IM; coord with disease /‌blood (IM), not /‌immunol nor /‌genet; TN 230
Scope Note: The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
